Indeed.  I'm a coder at heart, so I know enough perl/python to do stuff.
But to learn, say, perl in enough detail for an exam sounds horrendous since
there are loads of subtleties and wads of libraries that you need a
reference for while you're reading/writing it.  After all, TMTOWTDI [There's
More Than One Way To Do It - a perl catch phrase].

Not so pleased to hear, though, that there's no non-x86 stuff covered.
